Fog of War and already colonized planets...

[raynor]

Has anyone emailed Malfador about this one already? As in, if you haven't, would you please.

Agree 100%. A semi-related issue is that I believe that all your colonies should automatically get the highest sight (range and level) as the techs become available. It's kinda funny that a ship/satellite can have much better sensors than the planet that constructed it.

Agree. Meanwhile, I make a small satellite with nothing on it but the computer and a sensor. Takes one turn, and you don't need a shipyard. Alternatively, make a bunch and distribute them around systems as you explore with a sat launcher ship. You might also be able to put a sensor on a weapon platform. (Haven't tried that, but it's almost certainly do-able or moddable.)

Heck, it dosen't even take one turn, since you can keep building your other stuff, and one satellite won't make a dent in your construction rate.

I have to constantly remind myself to keep stuff in my building queues so I don't waste the production. I think I would probably tell a planet to build just one satellite and lament the loss of that turn's production.
